as was nearly my case, may be induced to
make trial Of the wonderful CUuCURA
REMEDIES.
At the age of three months rash made
its appearance on my face. A physician
was called, he said teething was the cause,
he prescribed some cooling medicine, but
the sores spread to my ears and head.
Anothe' NJ, D. wascalled. He protested to
know all about the case, called it "King's
Evil, and prescribed gunpOwder, birthstone
and lard, mixed into Salve, but the disease
continued. They could not do anything
with it. Another prescribed borax water
and flour; another linseed poultines. None
of them did me any good at all, but made
me worse. The disease continued unabated:
it spread to my arms and legs, till / was
laid up entirely, and from continued sitting
on the floor on pillow my limbs contracted
so that lost all control of them, and was
utterly helpless. Ny mother would have to
| lift me out and into bed | could get
around the house on my hands and feet, but
| could not get my clothes on at all, and
had to wear a sort of dressing gown. Ny
hair had all matted down or fallen off, and
my head, face and ears were one scab, and
| | had to have towel on my head all the
time in the summer to keep the flies off My
parents consulted prominent physician
and surgeon here in Chicago (the other
| physicians before mentioned were of Dun
das and Hamilton, Cmada), he said he
could do nothing for me, that the chances
were that would grow out of it, or that it
would strike inwardly and kill me in time.
He wanted to cut the sinews of my legs so
that could walk, but would not let him,
for if did get better / would have no con-
troll of them.
This disease continued in this manner

day in January, 1879, in the Chicago JiTb-

-DeHaven's show gave two exhi-

that without money and without

Measures Necessary to Stop Currenc
Contraction and Financial Trouble

Measures Necessary TO Stop Currency
Contraction and Financial Trouble.
WASHINGTON, February 1.-Secretary
Manning to-day sent To the House of
Representatives a long communication
in reply to its inquiry whether he has re-
issued greenbacks of large denominations
in place of the small notes retired. After
denying that this had been done the
Secretary proceeds with an argument for
the repeal of the silver dollar coinage
act as one means of preventing a con-
traction of the currency. He reasons
that the constantly increasing surplus
in the treasury will cause such a con-
traction unless il Is paid out in extrava-
giant appropriations or in redemption of
the debt, and the Dnds cannot be retired
now except by paying heavy premiums
upon them. But both these contingen
cies, he reasons, NAV be avoided by re-
ducing taxation and employing the sur
plus in the payment of the unfunded
debt. Therefore, he recommends the
substitution of coin certificates for the
greenbacks. which can be effected as a
mere matter of Treasury administration.
if Congress will authorize the silver pur-
chases to be stopped and will repeal the
law which compels the re-issuing of the
retired greenbacks.
The Secretary contends that unless
these measures are adopted monetary
difficulties that are now imminent will
occur, and he also asks Congress Ito at

at has never been unlawful to manu-
facture, or keep, or sell these liquors in
Tennessee. 1t may be unlawful to do 50
without q license, but license has been
required of the merchant and the butcher
as well. The regulation of the traffic in
intoxicating liquors has been more strin-
gent than that Of most other commodi-
ties, not only because Of the deplorable
consequences which ensue from its abuse.
but from fiscal considerations, or regula-
tons looking to collecting the public rev
enue. Nevertheless, subject to the pre-
scribed regulations, the right to manu-
facture, and keep, and sell Intoxicating
liquors has diarays been a right Of the
people of Tennessee, and one which they
largely exercised at the time our first
Constitution was adopted. Distilleries
and their products, wine presses and wine
have always been property in Tennessee ;
have been bought and sold, and inherited
and devised, and subject to seizure under
execution and rs property, have had the
protection of law"
The question involved will be fully
tested, and if the prohibition bull is
passed, an application for mandamus
against the operation of the law will be
made. Are our Prohibitionists going as
far as Georgia does on the land question,
and insist on confiscation Messrs. Yer
trees & Vertrees draw the following
CONCLUSIONS.
1. The State has the power to pro
hibit the manufacture and sale of intox
icating liquors within the limits of Ten
neSsee.
2. But this power must be exercised
with due regard for eriStitg property
rights. Provision for just compensa-
ton must be made for manufactures
and liqours in existence when the pro-
hibitory amendment takes effect.
3. There must be provided an dpprO
PIRATE remedy, upon an adequate fund,
whereby the burners of such property oar
obtain compensation through the courts
of Justice.
4. Unless such provisions are made
the owners of all intoxicating liquors then
in existence in Tennessee car, continue
to keep them for sale, and to sell them
just as they were doing heretofore; and
the owners of all distilleres and brewer
les then in existence can continue &c
brew and distil with them, and to sell the
product, the same as if the amendment
had not been adopted.
3. Compensation cannot be enforced
by those engaged IN the liquor business
for the injury resulting from the de
struction of their business. The injury
will doubtless be great, but it will bt
ddHHunt dbSQue inIuFid.

Law and Prohibition.

Since the prohibition Of slavery no
interests 80 strong have been attacked as
those involved in the prohibition of
whiskey. Property in viii sky. as was that
in slaves, is protected by the Constitu-
ton. which is the basis of our national
government, by the fundamental laws
of all the States, by established custom,
by legal decisions and the immensely of
capital and labor invested. The over
throw of slavery was comprised outside
of law and by the Intervention Of
power confessedly opposed to its exer-
else. How shall the overthrow Of the
whisky interest be accomplished with
out appeal to a power which no one
thinks of invoking? Ii we grant all
that. Prohibitionists ask as to the JUS
tice of their cause and the necessity of
their triumph to the future of our peo-
pie, it is still a matter of supreme i'm
portance as to how the new Appomattox
shall he won.
In this connection, the action soon to
be taken by the Legislature of Tennessee
is of absorbing interest. Vertrees & Yer
trees, of Nashville, represent the liquor
men, and their brief is before us in
closely printed pamphlet of forty-two
pages. 1t assumes high ground at the
outset, and the whole argU ment is one
of interest to the people at large, as we'll
rs to- the legislator and the LAWYER. If
no property can be taken from any man
save by law or the Judgment of his
peers, and if property can be applied to
the public use only when JUST compen-
sation is rendered therefor, then it only
remains to inquire whether there is
property in whisky, and whether invest
ment in the machinery necessary for its
manufacture and sale was legitimate
and recognized by law. In these postu-
lates ample quotations sustain the posi-
ton taken, and there seems to be no
doubt In common sense and equity. Is
property in whisky or the machinery de-
pendent on its sale as much protected by
law as that in land or drygoods?
The following is as applicable to Flor
ida as to our sister State:

Justice tOCall.

The Times Union is almost az fond OF
defaming Senator Call as attacking the
best interests of our State, but its zeal
has misled it into making a positive
charge In the following:
Senator Call was one Of the three
Democratic Senators who voted against
the passage of the bill prohibiting MEM
beers of Congress from acting as attorneys
for railroads in suits in which the United
States is party. A bill more distinctly
in the interests of the people as against
corporations and monopOlies, was never
proposed IN Congress-. Senator Call
poses as the enemy of railroad corpora
tions, and yet voted against it,"
Now if this accusation is true, Call
should be buried for his treason to the
people and for his utter hypocrisy, deeper
than his colleague has been sunk for his
desertion.
Our contemporary believes that the bill
against which our Senator voted was
distinctly in the interests of the people.
Yet it was not the original bill as pro-
posed by Senator Beck, which had been
"emasculated in the committee" and
shorn of all it's proportions. In voting
for it, Mr.. Beck himself declared "that
it was no good, but perhaps the House
would improve on it, The New York
.Stdr, one of the ablest supporters of the
administration, says of this amendment !:
elf no such legislation be expedient,
it is clear that the bill which passed is
as obnoxious as any. If law making of
this kind be wholesome, the Beck bill
comes very much nearer the require
ments of the situation.
" 1t il very doubtful il the Senate has
added to its waning popularity by the
course it has seen fit to pursue in this
matter.
1t will thus be seen that Mr.. Call did
not vote against the Beck bilr' bur
against an amendment thereto which
was condemned by Nh. Beck. Neither
was the division made on party lines,
there We're 80 yeas and IA nays.
The Times Union is attempting to re
gain lost business and reputation by
placing advertisements in the Netrs and
Herdld of Jacksonville, THE NEWS and
Herald of Palatka, and others Of the

bulldoze. But it is significant fact
that even Charley Finley can count only
half-dOzen supporters of the course OF
that journal among the one hundred
and two papers published in the State
The condemnation Of the press has been
sustained by that of the people and nc
abuse of Senator Call will postpone the
verdict. The Lake City Reporter may
be ironical. but not even the tears of a
martyr can help the calamity liar. Only
earnest repentance and amendment OF
life can be pleaded IN abatement Of pun
ishment or stay OF sentence. Does the
